Even though she claims she’s not going to say, “Cheer up!” the Big Pink does cheer us up this morning:
“We’re strapping on our Pink grenades every morning and getting into the fight. If we get depressed amid the lunacy, we’ll say “so what?” We’re in the middle of a fight not at the end of one. The time for hammock swings and Pink lemonade is not yet here.
We might not like it but we realize that the Tea Party people for now are allies. So we will not disparage them as “teabaggers”. Politics makes strange bedfellows and these are strange times. We have learned that we do need two parties in opposition to each other, and other parties to live and die in order to keep those two parties in check and to let the major opposition parties know our votes cannot be taken for granted.
We might not like it but we realize that there are two choices: live or die. We’re not going to die and go away. We’ll live to fight another day.
We might not like it but we realize we are not alone in our opposition now and will not be alone in attaining our goals later. Our partners will change but we are not alone any more.
We might not like it but we realize that we were correct all along about Obama and his thug machine and his situation comedy demographics coalition. The ones who should be in deep depression and shame are Obama supporters who allowed themselves to be duped by the Dimocratic establishment and elect a stooge.
As the clinicians say, “depression is anger turned inwards“. By that definition Obama supporters should be suicidally depressed. Good riddance.”
Thanks for the pep talk Big Pink! Have a big pink cupcake! Because the fact is, obama sucks. And everyone knows it. It will just take a few more months until the mainstream media starts treating him like the joke he is. Just like they did to Bush.
We lose.
From miq this morning:
“Next fall we’re gonna have and election and right now it looks like the Republicans will gain seats in Congress, and maybe even get control of one or both houses. But no matter who wins, we lose. The same thing in November of 2012. – If either the Democrats or Republicans win, we’re screwed.
Sooner or later Obama will be out of office, but will whoever the Democrats nominate to replace him be any less corrupt?”
Roseanne’s not feeling much sunnier:
“I have no hope and no faith left at all for this country and the people in it. It’s not going to get better, but worse, and I blame the Democrats for all of it. They are sold out played out corrupt nothing lovers dancing around a golden calf, as Republican Sociopaths line their pockets with our hard earned money, and the Romney family, who have worked harder than any other family, save the Bush’s to destroy the fabric of the great society licks its chops for 2012. A bloodbath is coming. Republicans will clean up in the elections, and then they will clean up the rest of the money too and stuff it in their pants. They will cut everything, and have a return to the Confederacy that they have dreamed of since Roosevelt left office.”
Holy smokes. I guess there’s another way of looking at these cupcakes. The mood of the country is dour and grim. People really are losing hope and beginning to feel genuinely, clinically depressed. How are you? Do you agree with Miq and/or Roseanne? What, if anything, is giving you hope?

SENATE WARNS EMPLOYEES TO AVOID THE DRUDGE REPORT
Tue Mar 09 2010 08:53:37 ET
Just as the healthcare drama in the capitol reaches a grand finale, congressional officials are warning employees to avoid the DRUDGE REPORT!
The Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works issued an urgent email late Monday claiming the DRUDGE REPORT is ‘responsible for the many viruses popping up throughout the Senate.’
The committee ordered hill staff: ‘Try to avoid’ the DRUDGE REPORT ‘for now’.
On Monday DRUDGE served over 29 million pages with NOT ONE email complaint received about ‘pop ups’, or the site serving ‘viruses’.
The site was seen 149,967 times since March 1st from users at senate.gov and 244,347 times at house.gov. [10,825 visits from the White House, eop.gov]

BWAHAHAHAHA!
Riverdaughter had a good piece up about Erik Massa earlier today, and Bostonboomer has another. From Riverdaughter:
“Eric Massa is an extrovert. He looks like he’s a bit of a loose cannon as well. I kinda like that about him. And his stories of life aboard ship are going to resonate well with a lot of working class guys who took a similar route in life. Maybe Massa can shake things up a bit while he has some face time with the public. What does he have to lose at this point in time? His leadership has apparently made an international incident out of something that took place at a wedding reception when he behaved like dunken sailor and got carried away. He regrets his behavior as unbecoming of a congressman, as well he should. But if Massa were the standard for politicians, then Cheney should have been thrown out of office for telling a Senator to go fuck himself, Newt Gingrich would never be taken seriously again for getting blowjobs in his car from a staffer, and Jim Bunning would be publicly reprimanded for giving reporters the finger last week. Let’s not pretend that Washington is a place where every day is a cotillion. There are a lot worse sins than Massa’s and harrassment cases a lot more straightforward and unambiguous.”
and from Boston Boomer:
“Why are the powers that be so afraid of what newly retired New York Representative Eric Massa has to say about the treatment he has gotten from Rahm Emanuel? If Massa’s complaints are really so “ridiculous,” as the President’s press secretary Robert Gibbs said on Good Morning America today, why isn’t the White House simply ignoring him?”
Massa is going on Glenn Beck’s show in a few minutes. I will be watching live and blogging it. You can too, by posting your thoughts in comments.
Sing, Massa Sing!
Oh yeah, I forgot to remind you to have a cupcake today! Love those Sailor Boys!
Eric Massa says he was set up for a fall because he voted no on health care reform. Says he won’t go quietly:
Massa lashed out at “the incredible corruption of money in politics today,” accused Hoyer of lying about him, railed against both political parties, and brought out the X-rays from his recent doctor’s visit to prove his statements about a possible cancer diagnosis. “It makes me weep to know that our country is being destroyed from within, with the absolute BS I have to live with for the past five days, the attempted destruction of my family and the slurs. . . . We are a better and bigger country like that.” Finally, Massa warned, “I will not go quietly. . . . I was set up from this from the very beginning.”
He also called Rahm Emmanuel the “devil’s spawn.” Well. This should be interesting. I just LOVE it when they won’t go quietly. Doesn’t happen nearly often enough.

Awesomeness abounds.
Would it be uncricket to say Fuck You to James Cameron? Ok, I won’t say it.
YES!

Irena Sendler saved Jewish babies and children in the Warsaw ghetto by smuggling them out in the false bottom of her plumber's toolbox or in big sacks. She trained her dog to bark furiously in the presence of Nazi soldiers in order to cover the possible cries of any of the children. The dog was a German shepherd, ironically, or not. She was captured and tortured by the Nazis and sentenced to death, but friends bribed her out of prison. After the war she tried to reunite the 2,500 children she had saved with their parents, but most of them had been gassed at Treblinka. Al Gore got this woman's Nobel Peace Prize. Jackass.
Hey There Pumas! It’s another sunny late winter day in the Great Metrowest so let’s get cracking!
Shocking shocking news out of the Vatican today.
I’m assuming you saw this story over at Uppity’s about how Al Gore stole the Nobel Prize from Irena Sendler. Now, that really IS shocking. My husband’s family is Norwegian, and even though I’ve never really spoken with them (other than the American relatives who are all now dead), I am never speaking to them again. Even though I love love love their pants.
p.s. I love Catholic women. A lot. It’s the damn priests I could do without.
Speaking of which, Kat in Your Hat posted these excellent links for Women’s History Month:

Oh, and p.s. this video posted by BostonBoomer is HILLARY-ious!
For Women’s History today, and in honor of Irena Sendler (as well as to show up the prostitution rings being run out the Vatican Choir Hall), let’s list religious women of the 19th, 20th, and today who deserve to be recognized.
03 Mar 2010, BRASILIA, BRAZIL --- epa02063800 United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is reflected in a highly polished table as she attends a session of the Brazilian Congress in which she met with former Brazilian President and Chairman of the Congress Jose Sarney and the Deputy Chamber President Michel Temer at the National Congress building in Brasilia, Brazil, 03 March 2010. Clinton is paying her first official visit to Brazil since she took office thirteen months ago and will held a tough agenda in which she will meet Brazilian Chancellor, Celso Amorim and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to talk about the Iranian nuclear program, the Latin American situation and a millionaire tender to sell fighters.

Advice to anyone who stands up to or tries to thwart obama: Don’t have a sex scandal in your closet. It WILL be exposed.
Just ask Jack and David, and Eric. Oh, and also Quarles Harris and the dude in Chicago, what’s his name again? Larry? Yeah, that’s him. Well, I guess the last two aren’t really sex scandals per se. They involve murder and illegal drugs instead.
In other news, the temperature touched 50 degrees today and Spring is decidedly in the air. Also, www.teamhillaryclinton.com is now open for business. Give them a visit!
Back to the topic at hand. I think it’s pretty clear that the lady above, sadly unlike her husband, has never and will NEVER have a sex scandal for the Jackass in Chief, or any other jackasses for that matter, to exploit. Suck on THAT obama.
It’s never too late to contact Congress about obamacare, and which important woman have you researched a little today? Let us know in comments.

Dear Congress,
STOP this bad health care bill! We, the American People, do not WANT it. Members of Congress who support this bill will find themselves hoping Senator Bunning is not blocking unemployment benefits next November!
